Sports and Recreation Ministry

For many people, sports and recreation are an important part of life, whether we are a weekend warrior, a nature enthusiast, an athlete involved in a sports and fitness program, or we are just enjoying a little exercise or fellowship in the company of friends. In our culture, we recognize the value of addressing our physical, social and emotional needs through sports and recreation and at Valley Presbyterian Church, we are addressing this tremendous opportunity to bless our church as well as reach out to our friends in the community.

This fall, we're excited to introduce to you a new Sports & Recreation ministry that will offer a selection of sports programming and adventure outings with the hope of developing creative arts classes in the near future. The putpose of the new ministry is not simply to offer sports and recreation. While these programs can meet a very real need they are an avenue where we,as disciples of Jesus Christ, can build relationships with friends in our community that may not normally be attracted to a church. It's through these relationships that we can invite our new found friends to other opportunities at Valley Presbyterian Church, whether they be a worship service, a Wednesday evening dinner and class, or a service project so that they may encounter the life changing prescence of Jesus Christ for themselves.

With recreation being such an important part of a person's life, is it possible that we can use sports and recreation as a tool to not only build community in our church but also reach out to people in our community for Jesus Christ? I look forward to seeing you in one of our new fun recreation programs.

Serving Christ with Joy,
Dave
